Remember the Speedster name? It’s been in service since the Porsche 356 that originally bore the name, and has been regularly wheeled out as a collector’s edition convertible ever since.

More recently, it’s been seen as a last hurrah of the generation of 911 it’s based on, which would tally in this case, considering the 992-generation 911 is thought to be only around two years away from production.

We weren’t very keen on the last one; when we tested the 997-generation Speedster back in 2010, we worked out that ‘an £83,493 Carrera GTS Cabriolet is just a powerful, pretty much the same to drive, yet costs £60k less. Porsche will sell every one – has sold every one – but that doesn’t mean it’s a particularly good car or one we should celebrate.’

Still, if the new Speedster were to arrive at the 2017 Frankfurt show, expect it to have a big bottom, a unique body kit and perhaps even a tasty set of Fuchs wheels.
